Subject: Carnation
Milk -- the
rest of the
story
Carnation
Milk 65 Years
Ago.
A
little old
lady from
Wisconsin had
worked in and
around her
family dairy
farms since
she was old
enough to
walk, with
hours of hard
work and
little
compensation.
When canned
Carnation Milk
became
available in
grocery stores
in the 1940s,
she read an
advertisement
offering
$5,000 for the
best slogan.
The producers
wanted a rhyme
beginning with 'Carnation
Milk is best
of all.'
She thought to
herself, I
know
everything
there is to
know about
milk and dairy
farms.
I can do this!
She sent in
her entry and
several weeks
later a black
car pulled up
in front of
her house.
A large man
got out,
knocked on her
door and said,
"Ma'am,.....The president of Carnation milk absolutely LOVED your
entry.....So
much, in fact,
that we are
here to award
you $1,000
even though we
will not be
able to use it
for our
advertisements!"
He did,
however, have
one printed up
to hang on his
office wall.
True
story!!!
